Gday,

I know alarms have been covered in threads here but none seem to be installing alarms themselves.

My question is this-

I need an alarm that I can install myself (so sold to public) that is black wiring and remote keyless ... As well as having all the code hopping stuff and ability to be silent (I hate when the car beeps as you open/close it).

It should also have 3 immobiliser points minimum and it would be nice to have additional inputs/outputs (so it can accomodate boot, doors, bonnet, tilt and microwave/proximity.

The jaycar ones look good but unforunately (and stupidly in my opinion) the one with all black wiring doesn't have remote keyless entry (shadow), and the one with keyless entry (and all the features I want) doesn't have black wiring (car steel, steel mate or something..) Go figure.

Anyways - any help is appreciated - if installers can sell me a kit that'd be good too - but I spose people don't sell these things so the wiring diagrams don't get out.... although with black wiring I don't see how it matters.

Thanks.

Check Ebay if you can mate, there are some nice alarms on there. You can get the ISO approved Australian ones like Cyclops, Black Widow or if you want to save some money you can get cheaper ones.

I bought a 'cheap' Chinese unit for $50AUD delivered, and it was great. Central locking output, silent arm/disarm, immobilization, shock sensing, 100db horn, was a very good unit. (Apart from the Engrish installation manual)

give it a try!

Blacky.

hi mate, I bought mine through Autobarn! only cost me bout $200 and it has just about everything you listed above (no microwave sensor). very easy to install.

I did mine, as I have seen some slap happy wiring jobs (no-one takes more care with yor car than yourself!) and I didn't want anyone else to know where and how it is wired up :)

For anyone else looking at this thread I just noticed the "BW10000" look dodgey as.

Considering -

a. google seems to be spammed with the item pointing to ebay

b. BW homepage doesn't have this model at all

c. the seller's feedbacks looks 'strange'

Anyways, I'll keep looking :)

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
